Post #6065301

I have my spathoglottis unguiculata in fairly bright light in the house, which is occasionally heated with the central heater, but more frequently with wood burning stove...generally kept around 60 degrees in winter. It had spider mites in the fall, but they all seem to be gone now. All of the leaves are turning brown on the tips, then the brown advances down the leaf until the entire leaf turns brown and falls off. It is still growing new leaves. It's not chlorophyl in the water because we have well water. It is getting no direct sun.

Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to rectify it?

Thanks!

Kay.
